Taransay House, Small Hotel

Friendly helpful owner - made us feel like it was our home. Excellent chef used fresh local items and put together a menu based on our preferences. The facilities are new, modern while still very comfortable. Attention to details was evident in the decorations. We were sad to leave.

There was really nothing we did not like. My only suggestion would be to expand the wines available by the glass.

Everything was amazing: our host Murdo was very welcoming, our room was big, clean and very comfortable with a beautiful view, and the food was absolutely delicious! If you're there, try the dining experience, you won't be disappointed! We will definitely come back here if we're ever in Portree again :)

The property is lovely with excellent views and a very comfortable room. Murdo is a true gentleman and the ultimate host! Scott is a world class chef and his creations in the kitchen are absolute perfection!

The location and views from the balcony are kickass. It is a small hotel with only a few rooms, but the overall feel of the hotel was very nice and warm. The staff was also very sweet and helpful. We stayed on the ground floor room and the room as well as bathroom were very spacious. Walking distance from the central Portree area. Highly recommended hotel

Breakfast is excellent. Pretty ocean view from most rooms. Sincere and welcoming host.

This was the highlight accommodation of a 3 week Scotland trip. The hotel has four rooms only with private parking. Our room was a 2 room suite with terrace and views over the harbor, fridge, stocked daily with a couple waters and beers, milk for coffee. The room is super modern, lots of plug-ins and 2 tv's. Breakfast is made to order by the in-house chef Scott. Dinner is prepared by Scott in the evening for house quests only (65 p/p). He will discuss your dinner choices with you after breakfast. He gets his meats/ fish/ingrediants locally and daily and prepares dishes at a Michelin star level. We had to forage in town for dinner the night we arrived and every place was booked or had a line going down the street. We ate at Tanansay House 2 out of 3 evenings and were very glad we did. Easy and hassle free, what one deserves on vacation. The owner, Murdo, checks you in and gets you settled. He serves at breakfast and dinner so is available for questions about anything. Before you venture out for your day, he will review your itinerary, if you have one, and give tips and advice about what to see, do and routes to take around Skye and beyond. We are seasoned travellers, have lived all over the world and don't need a lot of coddling on our vacations. Taransay House, however, brings another level of comfort and convenience without the pretentiousness that usually comes along with service of this quality. Recommend staying here while visiting Skye. Give yourself a break and enjoy.

Wish we could have stayed longer.

Frankly, you would be lucky to score a room in this hotel. It is very small, four rooms only, it is family run. They take exceptional care of you. The hotel is well and very creatively designed, it is exceptionally clean. The attention to detail is unparalleled. The food created by Scott is on par with best restaurants we have eaten in. And every morning you have an opportunity to discuss your dinner with him. Murdo gives excellent advise on what to do on the Isle of Skye. One of the best hotel experiences ever.
